About Reddit

Deeply data-informed and logical. You ensure metrics are part of the design process, not just an afterthought in a dashboard. Your architectural directions are traceable back to product and business outcomes, and you’re fluent in the language of experimentation, funnels, and QoE metrics

Responsibilities

• Agir en tant que partenaire stratégique en ingénierie pour les équipes Produit, Design et Data Science, en aidant à façonner la feuille de route du produit.
• Établir les meilleures pratiques pour l'intégration des composants multimédias et la gestion des cycles de vie multimédias complexes, garantissant une expérience de classe mondiale même sur des appareils ou des réseaux contraints.
• A strategic partner, not just a technologist. You've steered cross-team projects that solved tangible business problems (like increasing watch time or DAU), rather than just hitting a 'ship' date. You see how the code, the product, and the team dynamics all influence each other
• A focus on clear, transparent communication. You can effectively distill complex technical trade-offs for any audience—whether you’re collaborating on a whiteboard with peers or presenting a roadmap review to executive stakeholders

Requirements

• Comfortable with growth-team ambiguity. You navigate ambiguity with confidence when the goal is clear but the path is not. You’re comfortable with growth-team speed—prototyping fast, moving on when the data doesn’t back a bet, and keeping the team focused when the plan changes

Preferred

• Media product expertise. You have hands-on experience optimizing video player performance or building feature-rich products on top of core media playback components (AVFoundation, VideoToolbox). Familiarity with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and integrating with recommendation/feed systems is a massive plus
